BASICS.//
RMKS/1. This NAVADMIN announces increased high year tenure (HYT)
waiver opportunities for hard-charging E7-E9s who want to stay Navy.
In accordance with reference (a), E7s must retire at 24 years of
service (YOS), E8s at 26 YOS, and E9s at 30 YOS. However, as part
of our Sailor 2025 Up-And-Stay initiative, we are granting more HYT
waivers to E7-E9s who are willing to serve at sea or in other hard
jobs and continue their Naval service. This is not to say that you
will remain in your current paygrade. Your opportunity to advance
will continue and in our growing Navy is expected to remain high,
especially for those Sailors willing to do the hard jobs with
sustained superior performance. HYT policy allows for continued
advancement opportunity and prevents Sailors who are on the retired
on active duty (ROAD) program from staying by requiring Command
endorsement. COs are expected to recommend approval of HYT requests
only for Sailors who demonstrate sustained superior performance.
2. As I said in my message to the Fleet, Brilliant on the Basics II
reference (b), to build the Navy the Nation Needs, we need Sailors
who are personally engaged in the success of our Navy as well as
their own personal success. Similarly, we need leaders who
encourage and enable this. This initiative to provide increased
opportunity for our senior enlisted leaders to stay Navy will help
us maintain the leadership experience and technical acumen we need
at sea as we grow the force. It also allows our senior enlisted
leaders to continue to perform and compete for advancement.
3. If you are a senior enlisted leader who is approaching your HYT
gate and still want to compete and serve the Navy, reach out to your
community manager and start the process now.

Please see below and ensure widest dissemination. Please do not allow our Sailors and their families to be negatively impacted because we did not take the time to read, understand the impact of this pending change, and take required actions. If there are questions or concerns, please ask.
“As previously discussed, I received confirmation today from OSD P&R that the Post 9/11 GI Bill DoD Instruction (DoDI) 1341.13 revision may be signed as early as 19 July. There are two major changes that will impact Sailors, one of them immediately.

1. Effective immediately with the release of the DoDI, the exception that permits a service member who has 10 years of service, but is unable to obligate 4 years due to statute or standard policy (service or DoD), to only serve the amount of time authorized by that statute or policy, will be cancelled. All members who wish to transfer education benefits must have the ability to obligate 4 years of service in order to be approved.
This impacts all Sailors who are within 4 years of HYT and officers who are 2 X FOS (*were not selected for promotion twice).
For SELRES, this also impacts senior officers and the APPLY process. As their billets are not 4 years in length, they will be precluded from transferring education benefits once this goes into effect, as they cannot obligate 4 years in the SELRES.
Senior enlisted members selected for non-continuation by the SECB who don’t transfer their benefits before the DoDI release, will no longer be eligible to do so.

2. Effective one year from release, transferability will only be available for Sailors with at least 6 year of service, up to 16 years of service. Those with greater than 16 years will be ineligible. There will be an exception for those who cross the 16-year threshold while in a medical status that precluded reenlistment/extension, details to follow.
I plan to go forward with a NAVADMIN that will formally announce these changes, but I want to start informally getting the word out now, especially to any members who may have less than 4 years until their HYT date so they can get their TEB (*transfer of education benefits) applications in ASAP.
I am asking that you filter this information down through your respective CPO messes and NC/CCC networks.”

1. Please pass to your Regions/folks you mentor/anyone else you think might be interested.
“As Admin Warriors, we are forever and always interested in ensuring Sailors are paid properly and on time. It doesn’t matter if we are the PERSO or own CPPAs – we care about this work and want it done right. If you don’t own the CPPAs at your command, who does? Are they taking care of Sailors the way we expect them too? The simplest test to gauge the effectiveness of your CPPA: ask to see the action items currently in TOPS then start asking questions about any items that are currently with the CPPA for action (which normally means PSD needs a form, a signature, a receipt, etc.). Is the CPPA actively working to close out those items? If not, you have identified an obstacle to Sailors being paid properly.”
“The attached CO’s Guide to Pay and Personnel Administration provides an overview of the CPPA service delivery model. It is written for the non-Admin professional, but is good reading for us as well. Feel free to share widely.”

Endorsing a PCS Order.
Why do we endorse orders and how to.
Posting a new document to help decode the mystery of orders endorsement and why we do them. I am not writing this from an official perspective as I do not represent OPNAV and they own the policy. I’m simply pointing out what works to have your travel advances and claims paid correctly the first time. If not clear, this will create rework and certainly dissatisfaction with the “system.”
Synopsis:
Two types of endorsements:
1. Permanent party. Sailors checking into their ultimate duty station.
2. Temporary duty. Sailors checking in temporary duty for training.
What is certified.
Why we endorse.
Sample endorsement for a temporary duty training period.
Hope it helps you. Feedback welcomed.
